A good graphic t-shirt is no new thing. Whether you’re repping your favourite band, artist, musician or designer, there’s no better way to show your support for someone or something you love than having it plastered over your clothing.
The beauty of the graphic tee, however, truly lies in the fact that it is both stylish and comfy. You can throw one on with a pair of boyfriend jeans, a good maxi skirt, or even over the top of your favourite dress to make it a tad more casual, and you’re all set.
Whether it’s day or night, nothing quite beats the ever-so-cool girl look consisting of your best graphic tee, a pair of old Levi’s and some heeled boots. Pop on a statement jacket or coat for those cooler winter nights and you’ll be the talk of the town.
If you desperately wish your parents hadn’t thrown out their super cool vintage tees from the 80s and the 90s, this selection of our favourites from this season might just catch your eye.
Weekday Huge Printed T-Shirt

2.American Vintage Women's T-Shirt Aksun
This ever so slightly cropped graphic tee from American Vintage features a perfectly round, thick ribbed neckline in a true vintage-inspired style. The central logo reminds us of a 1960s American motor shops, and we love the idea of pairing this with a boiler suit and chunky boots.

Fanclub Yes Sir I Can Boogie Oversized Retro Slogan T-Shirt
Move it and prove it in this classic, relaxed fit slogan tee from independent British brand Fanclub. According to its creators, the slogan is printed digitally directly on the garment, which means instead of cracking graphics, you’ll get a super soft vintage fade. Yes please.

Shrimps Jared T-Shirt
We are truly obsessed with this take on the classic long sleeve from London-based fashion powerhouse Shrimps. The floral graphic that takes up much of the tee almost imitates a faux sweater-vest, while the oversized flowers and logo on either sleeve remind you that you’re simply in the coolest t-shirt of the season.
